What happened is that they appeased, capitulated, and caved to the left for so long, that they became indistinguishable, for all practical purposes, from the left.
They ran exactly the kind of "moderate" presidential candidate all the leftists claim that republicans should run, and they still lost.
And I have yet to see any compelling sensory evidence, despite all the bluster from the left, that the GOP has shifted "hard right".
No one's buying this. What happened is that they finally got full control of government and they did exactly what they always wanted.
Socialize the losses and privatize the profits.
Break government so they could end social programs for the poor
Launch a war in the middle east, disaster capitalism.
And the Robber Baron's gobbled up all the $. Did they go too far? Hell no. Heck, you don't even realize they did it. You're stilll blaming the government.
In business, there are always winners and losers. So, who won? When your 401K took a dump and Walllstreet collapsed, where did all that money go? Who won?
The bankers won. And you still side with the GOP who helped the bankers fuck us.
Are the Dems angels? No, but they are way better than the GOP.
You don't make enough money to be a Republican. Do you understand that?
you dont make enough money to be Democrat either.....do you understand that?
